ATLANTA – UFC President Dana White believes Max Holloway looked undersized for the lightweight division at UFC 236 and wants to see him back in the weight class where he holds gold. Holloway (20-4 MMA, 16-4 UFC), the UFC featherweight champion, moved up to 155 for an interim title bout with Dustin Poirier (25-5 MMA, 17-4 UFC) on Saturday. It did not go his way, with “Blessed” dropping a unanimous decision to snap his 13-fight winning streak inside the octagon. White said he thought Holloway was undersized for the division, and because of that would like to see the Hawaiian return to the division he currently rules. “It’s crazy, what I didn’t expect is he looked small at 155,” White told reporters, including MMA Junkie, at the UFC 236 post-event news conference. “So I look forward to him going back to 145.” Related UFC 236: Max Holloway reacts to his title loss to Dustin Poirier in good spirits Khabib Nurmagomedov scored Poirier vs.
